False Information on Seventeenth-Century Tombstones. The Tombstones of Zsuzsánna Serédi and Ilona Zrínyi

Summary/Abstract: The paper corrects two false pieces of information, both of which can be found on old tombstones. One of them is the tombstone of Mrs. Ostrogorski, Zsuzsánna Serédi (d. 1596) at Tarnów, the other belongs to Ilona Zrínyi, who died in 1703. The father of Zsuzsánna Serédi was not György but Gáspár (II.) Serédi, and her guardian was András Balassi. Ilona Zrínyi died as the wife of Imre Thököly, who was eight years younger than her, in Turkish exile, and a false date was written on her tombstone, first kept by the Jesuits of Galata, and later transferred to Kassa [Košice], which made her appear several years older. The paper’s conclusion regarding Zrínyi builds to a great extent upon the evidence recently revealed by Hungarian historians.
